Children and Porsche
February 2016.Our family's first Porsche has arrived at our house. It is a Panamera Edition (970 model).
At the time, my oldest daughter was only two years old. With only one child, it was not so bad, but as the second daughter was born, then the first son, and as they each grew older, the problem of dirt in the car gradually became unavoidable.
When returning from the park or picking up the children from kindergarten on the day they were taken to the park, the floor mats are instantly covered in sand. In addition to that, there are other things like gravel and "I wonder where it came in...Large leaves and other items that make you wonder, "What is this?
Other than that, there were spills of juice, spills of candy... When the Panamera Turbo (971 model) came to our house, less than a month after delivery, our oldest daughter got carsick and vomited in the car.
Recently, we were on our way home from a goldfish scooping event at a home improvement center. In the back seat of the Taikan, my second daughter somehow dropped the plastic bag containing the goldfish, and the back seat was flooded. I hurriedly rescued the goldfish, evacuated the goldfish into my oldest daughter's plastic bag, and although I wiped the back seat with a towel, "IOh come on...I couldn't help but think, "What the hell?
Porsche does not want to give up.
Given this situation, the "When the children are young, don't you have to push yourself to drive a Porsche?You may think, "I'm not a Porsche guy. But for me, buying a Porsche with my own money and being able to drive my car everyday is an important motivation in my life. (In fact, since I bought the Porsche, I think my luck at work has improved as well.)
In addition, theDriving the Porsche by myself is a precious time for me to get away from raising three children.So, Porsche is an indispensable part of my life now.
There are so many moments when I give up on myself when I'm raising my kids.I sometimes feel that I am not good at giving up on many things. I sometimes feel that I have become good at giving up many things.
When the children are small, there are days when you cannot go to the hairdresser (until a few years ago, I didn't even feel like going), and it is a daily occurrence that appointments you were looking forward to are cancelled due to the children's illness.
Even when I try to relax and watch youtube at night, my children talk to me every few minutes, "Mommy, Mommy," and even when I am concentrating on my work or having a meeting, I often have my concentration interrupted by my children.
Although I have been living this way for 10 years now and have become quite accustomed to it, I still tend to put my own affairs on the back burner,I feel that if I give up even my favorite Porsche, I will have no place in my heart.
I may be a bit stubborn, but I still want to continue to drive a Porsche, whether my children are small or not, even if I have to weigh various factors.
How to enjoy Porsche with your child
Nevertheless, over the past decade, countermeasures have gradually been considered.
When I was in the Cayenne,Floor mats should be made of rubber so that they can be quickly washed in water,Always put a seat cover over the car seat or baby seat to prevent it from being damaged, or (this ↓)
My son touches the center panel a lot, so I put a protective film on the center panel....
At the beginning of this article, I mentioned that goldfish and water spilled into the back seat of the Taikan,I have a seat cover all over the back seat of the Taikan (it was about $3,000 on Amazon), so it was...well...bearable.
If I had not laid down the seat covers, it would have been much more difficult.
Well, there are many things, but the fact that the whole family can enjoy the Porsche together will be a good memory later on, and the long drive to Fuji Speedway every year has become a regular family event that the children seem to enjoy as well.
In another year or two, my eldest daughter will probably stop following me, so I guess this is the time for us all to have fun together like this.
Also, recently, as I was wiping down the passenger seat and other dirty areas, the kids were also "wiping down" theShall I wipe the back too?He began to help me clean the house.
While it is certain that adults alone can have a cleaner ride, enjoying car life with children is also a great way to do so.
My youngest son is now four years old, and in another five years, the interior of the car may become less dirty, or conversely, it may become even dirtier as club activities begin (laughs).
